This 20 minute information session helps families in our community to get started with planning ahead in 4 very simple steps. With the help of a licensed Pre-Planning Advisor, families choose to plan ahead for funeral and cemetery services for many reasons.

Learn how to obtain your Personal Planning Guide, free of charge. When completed, the guide answers about 95% of the questions that need answers at the time of someone’s passing. Additional benefits we will discuss include National transferability, Family First Cost Protection, and Away from home protection, to name a few. It may be a tough conversation to start, but in our professional experience, it is so much tougher when we don’t have it in advance. Join us for the easier conversation, bring your questions, and Learn over Lunch! We will be at the Fairview Food Plaza at 22320 NE Halsey St Fairview, OR 97024
